Although Yebai didn't answer my question, I can roughly guess a few points from his current actions, maybe there is a secret about his other identity hidden in this mysterious scroll.

So, I carefully took the scroll from Yebai's hand, and then slowly unfolded it with the cooperation of Yihe, and after seeing the contents of the scroll, the two of us once again shocked me.

The content of the scroll is not complicated, it is the clock tower where we are now.

And the reason why we are shocked is naturally not because of the bell tower in the painting, but because there is an extra person next to the bronze bell in the painting.

In fact, we are no strangers to this person, because this person who surprised us is Yebai who is now in front of us.

It's just that the night white depicted in the painting scroll presents a look that we have never seen before.

In the painting, he is dressed in a monk's robe, wearing a pair of straw sandals, and his slightly young face is full of compassion that does not seem to be false at all.

"Master, what the hell is going on?"

Although Yebai didn't admit that he had accepted Yihe as an apprentice, he had the truth of being a master and apprentice to Yihe after all, so after seeing such content, Yihe couldn't help but be curious in his heart, looked at Yebai and asked loudly.

"Master, did someone ever pretend to be you, or did you really become a monk in this Great Xiangguo Temple?"

"I didn't take you as an apprentice, you don't have to."

Yebai shook his head slowly, and only then continued to answer after rejecting Yi He's address to him.

"The person in the painting is not imitated by others, it is myself, and it is precisely because of this scroll that I can make this thousand-year-old Daxiangguo Temple obey my orders."

Looking at the puzzled look on our faces, Yebai smiled faintly, and said another unknown secret to us with nostalgia.

"Everyone in the world knows that the Great Xiangguo Temple was built in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but few people know that this place was the former residence of Xinlingjun, the son of Wei, as early as the Warring States Period, but with the death of Xinlingjun, this place fell into abandonment, and no one cared."

"And to the sixth year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty, there is a high monk who took a fancy to this place, this person built a temple here, named Jianguo Temple, but unfortunately it was destroyed by fire and water, and this place was abandoned again, until the Tang Dynasty, there was a new change."

Speaking of which, Yebai paced back and forth in the bell tower, and the story he told couldn't help but feel familiar to me.

"According to legend, Emperor Taizong rushed to the underworld to deal with the case of Sancao because of the case of the Dragon King of Jinghe, during which he met the judge Cui Jue, and the judge Cui remembered that Taizong was wise, so he quietly added 20 years of life for Taizong, hoping to use these 20 years to make Taizong better govern the world and protect the peace of Shenzhou."

"And on the way back to the Yang Realm, when Emperor Taizong passed through the Naihe Bridge, he met sixty-four smoke and dust, seventy-two ghosts of grass and grass, as well as Taizong's brothers, that is, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, who became unjust souls in Xuanwu Gate."

"As the saying goes, enemies are very red when they see each other, how can the two brothers of the Li family, who have turned into unjust souls, be willing to easily let Taizong return to Yang, fortunately, with Judge Cui on the side, Taizong borrowed one of the thirteen treasury gold and silver of Xiangliang in the underworld, and after using this treasury of gold and silver to send away the unjust soul, Taizong was able to get out of the Yang safely."

"After Emperor Taizong returned to the yang, he asked his general Wei Chi Jingde to bring gold and silver to thank Xiangliang, but Xiangliang did not believe that he had accumulated so much money in the underworld, so he knelt down and resolutely refused to accept Emperor Taizong's gold and silver."

"In desperation, Yu Chi Jingde had to report to Taizong, Taizong thought about it, and ordered Yu Chi Jingde to use the gold and silver to build a temple, build a shrine for Sagara and his wife, and ask the monk to do good, so he should return the gold and silver to Sagara."

"After receiving the instructions of Emperor Taizong, Yu Chi Jingde looked around for a place to build a temple, because a temple had been built here during the Northern Qi Dynasty, so Yu Chi Jingde finally chose the place where the former residence of Xinling Jun had long been abandoned."

"So, Yu Chi Jingde bought a section of the foundation with gold and silver, and then gathered people to build a temple on it, and built Xiangguo Temple in the name of the name, and built the ancestral hall of Sagara husband and wife on the left side, engraved stone, it was written that Yu Chi Gong supervised the construction, and this temple is the Great Xiangguo Temple where we are now."

Hearing this, I finally remembered where I had heard this story, but before I could speak, I heard Yi He Yan on the side asking.

"Master, isn't what you just told a story in Journey to the West, is it true that these are all true?"

Yebai nodded and shook his head, he no longer paid attention to the name in Yi He's mouth, but looked at the ancient painting, and his tone was meaningful.

"Although I don't know if there are immortals in this world, and I don't know if the four masters and apprentices have gone to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures, but I can be sure that this Great Xiangguo Temple was indeed built by Sagara, but the reason is not the same as in the story."

Hearing Yebai's statement, Yi He knew that there must be a hidden secret, so he hurriedly asked the doubts in his heart.

"Master, who is Sagara in your mouth, it seems that I have never heard this name except for this story, is this person important?."

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet."

Yebai didn't panic at all, and the tone in his mouth was still so calm and light.

"Legend has it that this Sagara was originally a person from Kaifeng, he and his wife lived by selling black pot pottery, although they were not rich, but in addition to maintaining a basic life, the couple gave all the rest of the money to the monks, bought gold and silver paper ingots, and burned the library, although he was only a good poor man in the yang world, but he was an elder who accumulated jade and gold in the underworld."

"Because this Great Xiangguo Temple was built by Sagara, the first abbot of Xiangguo Temple specially invited Sagara to the bell tower, and found a very famous Danqing holy hand at that time to paint his portrait, and then left this painting for future generations, so that future generations of monks know the origin of this Great Xiangguo Temple."

"There have been rumors that this ancient painting is not just a simple portrait of a person, but that there is a treasure left behind by Sagara hidden in it, and whoever can unlock the true secret of the ancient painting will be able to find the location of that treasure."

Hearing Yebai's words, and then related to the strange content depicted on the ancient painting, I glanced at Yihe, looked at Yebai and shouted in unison.

"Are you Sagara!?"
